I was going to convert these little buggers into 2.5ed but I stumbled into some problems with abilities that won't exist in 3.5ed D&D anymore such as surprise rolls. I got everything else pretty much converted with a "conversion manual" but making plausible stats for special abilities namely "unseen 90% of time while hiding motionless in any forest terrain" second one is "may only be surprised with 1". Even bigger issue is ofc that as I intend to give kerchpas as a possible player race I haven't figured out what to do with rogues =/ and "a naturally" insane racial hide bonus (as it gives sneak about 90% of the time ...) Anyway here are the stats I've thought so far.

I also have savage species and both the book and conversion manual have come to same conclusions.

Uncanny Dodge.
